Zechariah 9:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ The people in Ashdod will not even know who their real fathers are. The Lord says, “I will completely destroy the proud Philistines. ⁷ They will no longer eat meat with the blood still in it or any other forbidden food. Any Philistine left alive will become a part of my people; they will be just one more tribe in Judah. The people of Ekron will become a part of my people, as the Jebusites did. ⁸ I will protect my country. I will not let enemy armies pass through it. I will not let them hurt my people anymore. With my own eyes I have seen how much my people have suffered.”
